Abstract

Cationic phospholipids and their use in treating pathogen-associated disease are disclosed. The class of phospholipids comprises the phosphotriester derivatives of phosphoglycerides and sphingolipids. Liposomes comprising one or more of the cationic phospholipids are effective in the lipofection of nuclidic acids and are therefore useful in methods of treating disease.
